This tool finds existence of accounts by username. It does not promise that all found accounts belong to the same human.

"on a person" seems to imply that they'd belong to someone in particular. Obviously if you have any experience of creating accounts you'd know that's unlikely to be the case, and it's not written in a promissory tone. But it does imply it.
